There was also a dude on YT with a non pan wide lens adapter again - mysteriously hard to find.

Also weirdly the actual name of it has been removed from the description.

I searched and searched before with no results.

7-14mm is very expensive - £700+ omg - Its not fish eye tho is it?

If is a light weight, very sharp, well controlled optically, and close to the widest linear rectangular lens of the market.

I had compiled the following to show the angle of view of various focal length FYI:

7mm (the largest frame)  vs 9mm (Pink) vs 12mm (purple) vs 14mm (Yellow)

If you can afford it, it worth every penny...

Looks like I may have to try out the Go Pro 8/9 and light the subject as well as possible because for £700 + I am better off making do with not too many presenter close ups and using cut aways - you can get two Go Pro 9s for £700 for this application.

There is one or two on eBay for 400 odd but yes again no stability -
